- It wasn't fake. It was real. If you have a chance to see any of the
- many original films of his actual performences or hear interviews with
- people, particularly women, who are fans you will see it is for real. What
- ever Elvis was he was original.
-
- The effect Elvis had on women began in the small clubs. Movies came latter
- (the middle) of his career as an entertainer. Today another entertainer
- exists that has the same emotional effect on women as the "King".
- He has crossed racial and national lines. His name is Michael Jackson.
- Few men have this "thing" what ever it is. I am sure no one understands it.

- PS. When my daughter was about 10 or 11 she began to tell me about the King
- she had seen on TV. For a while I just didn't catch on. Then it hit
- me. She had seen a documentry on TV about Elvis. She liked him and
- his music. A new fan and he is dead. It sparked my interest in Elvis
- agian after many years of little or none. I even went out and got
- an Elvis CD.
